“Mint Julep is absolutely hilarious,” said Lisa Hill of New Beginnings Animal Rescue. “We love her here at New Beginnings. She makes about 8-10 different sounds: purrs, chirps, squeaks, and one that actually sounds a little bit like a Wookie from ‘Star Wars.’

“She is very affectionate, gets along great with other cats and dogs don’t seem to bother her.”

Mint Julep is very playful. She also enjoys following you around and sitting with you on the couch.

“Her main goal is just to be with you,” Hill said. “She just wants to be part of the family.”

All animals available for adoption through New Beginnings have been spayed or neutered and have all their shots. To adopt Mint Julep, fill out an application at Bingo, or online at nbarmichigan.org.
